- 1How tho Saints are to vindicate reproaches.
And then the last Note is this: —And his reproach shall His LORD return unto him.
His Lord] What is God the Lord of this people? his 1Lord shall turn it, yes saith he, 'tis as if the Prophet should say thus, you reject God and will not be in subjection to him, you will not own him to be your Lord; but he will be your Lord in spite of your heart, God will be God, 2and he will be Lord, let wicked men do what they can, and what they will he will be their Lord; Christ hath purchased to be Lord over the world, and he will be Lord over all, over all Apostates, Hypocrites, wicked men, let them do what they can against Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ will be Lord over them in spite of their hearts.
